"Handmade artisan scented candles made exclusively in the Scottish Borders"

Established in 2016 by Lesley Landels, lovescottishcandles is well known for their incredible handmade artisan scented candles which are crafted exclusively in the Scottish Borders.

At lovescottishcandles, all of our candles and scents are delicately handcrafted by Lesley. With extensive experience in textile design, manufacturing and retail, Lesley began candle making after having two children, Isla and Finlay. Starting off selling through local shops, lovescottishcandles now has a prominent position within the retail and wholesale industry and has a wide range of stockists throughout Scotland.

In early 2017, lovescottishcandles launched their eCommerce website and also opened their first retail store in the heart of Melrose in the Scottish Borders. Adding a vast range of homeware and gift accessories to her expanding product catalogue, Lesley now combines her love of candles, cashmere and cushions!
